I have my apple watch synced to MFP, however I do not want it to add the extra calories I am burning from workouts or walking, is there a way to do this?

    Unlink the Apple Watch, or purchase a Premium subscription.

    will the premium get rid of that option?

    MFP is designed by default to provide a daily Calorie goal without calculating any exercise Calories; so that those who can not exercise can still meet their weight loss, gain, or maintenance goals.

    Because your daily calorie goal already accounts for your intent to gain or lose weight at a particular rate, you can achieve your goal by eating the specified number of calories per day, with no additional exercise required. If you do exercise, then your daily calorie goal will increase for the day, to stabilize your weight loss or weight gain at the rate you initially specified.

    If you are an advanced user or have specific dietary needs, you may wish to exert more control over your nutritional goals. Users who subscribe to MyFitnessPal Premium can modify the effects of logging cardio exercise.

    ​Please see this article, and search for answers to Frequently Asked Questions and other helpful articles, on the MFP Help/FAQ pages...
